Hope you all are doing well. I read the above topic and found it interesting. Haven't been in a forum lately since the mowing season started. Been extremely busy. Another sugesstion in regards to finding comercial bids or accounts would be: "Register with your State as a Vendor?" Our local newspaper has a free online advertisment for small business owners, and it pops up on google for free. I got three nice commerical accounts from that free website?

Anyway wish all of you well. Mowing season is almost over, can't wait to get a break.

How do you like performing government jobs? How do they differ from other jobs?

Yes if you register with your state as a vendor, you would be allowed to bid on government jobs. Like places where you get your driver license, etc.

I have two accounts with government jobs. They are hard to get. I like performing government jobs, because it's guaranteed money. You have your contract, and you go per your contract if they find it reasonable. They differ from other jobs, because they are easy, not to picky, and as long as you do what you agreed on the contract, that's all there is to it.

Hope that answered your questions

My goal is to be bigger then TureGreen Lawn care. I dealt with those guys before the beginning of this season, and they aren't as proffesional as I thought they would be? Another thing I found about this company is that, they tell other small business owners to sub-contract them, ask them to submit bids on the properties that they mow, and then they use that bid against you. What do I mean by this is that: "When they go to their clients they say this is what this company bid on this property, and many other company's. That's how they get most of their bids. Or jobs.
